MODERATORS
There’s a LOT of extremist left wingers but it’s ok because there’s a down arrow and block buttons. Oddly enough I haven’t seen much extremist right wing stuff plus I don’t have to care if someone doesn’t like me here so I’m less concerned about being honest.
The right wingers can't even move an inch in here, which is refreshing.
I think it’s more likely that the demographic of Internet culture always has tended to lean fairly progressive
It’s no mystery, the natural predator of fascists is communists
You’re welcome
I think a distributed, democratically oriented platform that makes no effort to rank people in a hierarchy or score their performance naturally appeals to a lot of leftists. Can't say I've seen much I would describe as extremist, but I haven't looked so it seems plausible.
Of course there's nothing actively stopping right wing instances from spinning up, so I'm sure it's just a matter of time before one blows up.
